A Dolphin’s Journal of Events

I’ve been on the net a whole 8 years now, according to my hotmail account which was the first thing I’ve signed up for: “Registered since: May 07, 2000″.

Also today is my 19th birthday. Whoppe. Yes, I hit the net when I was 10. What fun that all was.

Also, I’m getting a demokit from NVScene, which is double special good. It’s going to go to one of my demogroup members, after I had a chance to “test” it.

As for the demo for NVScene, planning is underway. Here’s who has shown interest in helping:
Me [duh] - code, gfx, music
Bro/Esamir - music [Bass]
Atolm - art [though she's been busy with moving ;p]
Looce - code ['maybe' for now, looce be busy with life and other projects]
Coax - music [backup musician for when I fail a week before the deadline, always pulling through with one of his <24 hour tracks]

My real-time fractal flame generator in flash never came together.. [which was probably a good thing since the quality was about 0.2 points a pixel at the point I had it anyway..]. That and flashscene’s deadline was like at 12:00 AM on the 15th, so I couldn’t get in my alternate project either. *sigh* There’s always next year.

Back to working on capped for a bit till it’s about time to start on my nvision project.

Net Neutrality. What a fun topic.

I thought I’d just mention something that people who are anti-net neutrality and think content providers should pay for bandwidth: We already do.

We pay for our own ISP [either a server host or whatnot] to carry out data to the internet. What you thought those 10 Gigabit connections from datacenter to a backbone were free? Of course not! Thousands and thousands per month, thank you very much!

Even me, owning a single server, I still have to pay for bandwidth. $100 for 1 TB out. And since that’s right out of my pocket, I sure as hell ain’t going to pay again to some ISP that thinks Capped.TV should pay for the bandwidth on their network. I already paid!

Thank you.

On the latest episode of CSI The Theory of Everything, Jamie and Adam from the MythBusters did a cameo apperance.

Here’s a few screen grabs:

Was much fun. “Dont tase me bro!” was also featured, said as from the internet meme as a joke.

And blah blah. Nothing else interesting to report.
